Well, I've reached the conclusion that I can't get there from here. Even with
a seemingly bootable floppy image (using FreeDOS to format the VMWare Player
blank floppy image specified in the vm's setting then copying netbootdisk.com's
files to that floppy) I get stuck. Boot hangs at the line
install=NetBoot\tunz.com -o NetBoot\boot.zip N:\
with the screen displaying only
RDISK 11-27-2009. 8-MB Memory.
I even tried modifying the FreeDOS boot menu, adding option 5 to run the
commands from netbootdisk.com, but pointing to files on C:. Stepping this way
failed at the equivalent tunz line, only with the additional error
Inflating N:\command.com
Incorrect DOS version
I tried three different versions of command.com: From XP's \i386, from Bart's
network boot disk, and the one added when formatting FreeDos. Each was placed
in boot.zip. None worked.
I'm glad to know that others have been successful getting an MSClient to work
in FreeDOS running in VMWare Player. I'm just not in that happy band.

Hi!
Here are some network boot disk images:
http://veder.com/nwdsk/
http://www.netbootdisk.com/download.htm
http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/
Somehow they seem not linked on
http://www.freedos.org/links/
but that page also is shorter than I
had remembered (with many "..." now?)

Details?

See above :-)
